Personally it was an enjoyable kind of a geek-fest moment of anticipation watching, but I think I'd rather have just found out post-regeneration to reduce imagined expectations.

But, all in all as you so well put it:

Who?

I found it all a bit underwhelming. I think I'd rather not even know it was coming, if that's all the same with everyone else. I'm sure the new doctor will do an excellent job. I have no problem with his age. I'm actually kind of glad not to have another young doctor. As for those who want to whine:

Not having watched Torchwood, we recorded them and are watching on per evening. Anyone else?

and while I'm talking to myself again, as my son and I were watching Children of Earth I kept commenting how familiar one of the main characters appeared in a young, skinny Donald Southerland sort of way.

Once we've finished watching the final installment, my son looks at me and says, "You know, that is the next Doctor, don't you?"

And while I watched "meet the new doctor" it hadn't occured to me until he said something.

Damn those smart know-it-all kids. Good thing I'm taking his butt back to college Sunday.

Oh I can't even begin to tell you how excited I was...not one but TWO nearby theaters...and about 6 in total here in Maryland.

So I had visions of sitting in the glory of an imax 3d experience. The ticket pricing isn't terrible either ($15).

Then I saw these showings weren't Nov 23. They are at 7:30pm Nov 25.

Guess who works for a local professional sports franchise with a nationally televised game on the evening of Nov 25?

Apparently there is a showing in Virginia on the 23rd...involving an hour car ride. If my son was home from college that would be a done deal. As my wife would be my companion, and she's not into Who this may be a lost opportunity.
